1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION
         Throughout this Form 10-Q, the term "Company" as used herein refers to
         The Genlyte Group Incorporated, including the consolidation of The
         Genlyte Group Incorporated and all majority-owned subsidiaries. The
         term "Genlyte" as used herein refers only to The Genlyte Group
         Incorporated.

         The financial information presented is unaudited (except that as of
         December 31, 1999), however, such information reflects all adjustments,
         consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments, which are, in the
         opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of results for
         the interim periods. The financial information has been prepared in
         accordance with rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
         Commission for Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures
         normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
         pursuant to such rules and regulations. For further information refer
         to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
         the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
         31, 1999.

         The results of operations for the six-month period ended July 1, 2000
         are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
         full year.

2.       USE OF ESTIMATES
         Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and
         assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the
         disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these
         financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
         principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

3.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

5.       INVESTMENT IN FIBRE LIGHT AND ACQUISITION OF LEDALITE
         On May 10, 1999, the Company acquired a 2% interest (with rights to
         acquire an additional 6%) in Fibre Light International, based in
         Burleigh Heads, Queensland, Australia. Fibre Light International is in
         the business of commercializing fiber optic lighting technology. The
         two companies then formed a jointly owned limited liability company
         named Fibre Light U.S. LLC ("Fibre Light"), of which the Company owns
         80%. Fibre Light manufactures, markets, and sells fiber optic lighting
         systems in the U.S.

         On June 30, 1999, the Company acquired the assets and liabilities of
         privately held Ledalite Architectural Products Inc. ("Ledalite"),
         located in Vancouver, Canada. Ledalite designs, manufactures, and sells
         architectural linear lighting systems for offices, schools,
         transportation facilities, and other commercial buildings. The purchase
         prices of these acquisitions totaled $31,469 (including costs of
         acquisition), consisting of approximately $8.5 million in cash payments
         and approximately $23 million in borrowings.

         The Ledalite acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
         method of accounting. The excess of the purchase price over the fair
         market value of net assets acquired of $27,068 is being amortized on a
         straight-line basis over 30 years. The purchase agreement provides for
         additional payments contingent upon future operating results of the
         acquired entity. The additional consideration, if and when paid, will
         be recorded as additional cost in excess of net assets of acquired
         businesses.

                                       6


         The operating results of Fibre Light and Ledalite have been included in
         the Company's consolidated financial statements since the dates of
         acquisition. On an unaudited pro forma basis, assuming these
         acquisitions had occurred at the beginning of 1999, the Company's
         results would have been:

         The pro forma results do not purport to state exactly what the
         Company's results of operations would have been had the acquisitions in
         fact been consummated as of the assumed date and for the periods
         presented, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated
         results.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER 2000 TO SECOND QUARTER 1999

Net sales for the second quarter of 2000 were $251.3 million, an increase of 3.2
percent from the second quarter of 1999. Net income for the second quarter of
2000 was $8,621,000 ($.63 per share), a 9.7 percent increase over the second
quarter 1999 net income of $7,860,000 ($.57 per share). Sales and earnings for
the second quarter of 2000 included Ledalite Architectural Products, which was
purchased at the end of June 1999. Without Ledalite, sales for the second
quarter of 2000 would have been essentially unchanged compared to the second
quarter of 1999, while net income would have increased 10.7 percent over the
second quarter of 1999.

Cost of sales for the second quarter of 2000 was 66.5 percent of net sales,
compared to 67.4 percent in the second quarter of 1999. This decrease is
primarily attributed to continuing raw material cost savings resulting from the
combination of Genlyte and Thomas Lighting, as well as cost savings realized
from plant consolidations during 1999. Selling and administrative expenses
increased to 24.7 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2000 from 24.0
percent in the second quarter of 1999 because of additional costs for new
product launches and because certain divisions that have experienced reduced
sales have not reduced selling and administrative expenses proportionately.

Interest expense, net was $683,000 in the second quarter of 2000, compared to
$1,075,000 in the second quarter of 1999, a decrease of 36 percent. The net
decrease is the result of both a reduction in debt, reducing interest expense,
and an increase in cash, increasing interest income.

The effective tax rate was 42.0 percent for the second quarter of 2000 compared
to 43.0 percent for the second quarter of 1999.

COMPARISON OF FIRST SIX MONTHS 2000 TO FIRST SIX MONTHS 1999

Net sales for the first six months of 2000 were $496.0 million, an increase of
3.1 percent from the first six months of 1999. Net income for the first six
months of 2000 was $16,275,000 ($1.18 per share), a 9.9 percent increase over
1999 net income of $14,815,000 ($1.07 per share) for the comparable period.
Sales and earnings for the first six months of 2000 included Ledalite
Architectural Products, which was purchased at the end of June 1999. Without
Ledalite, sales for the first six months of 2000 would have been essentially
unchanged compared to the first six months of 1999, while net income would have
increased 11.1 percent over the first six months of 1999.

Cost of sales for the first six months of 2000 was 66.6 percent of net sales,
compared to 67.4 percent in the first six months of 1999. This decrease is
primarily attributed to continuing raw material cost savings resulting from the
combination of Genlyte and Thomas Lighting, as well as cost savings realized
from plant consolidations during 1999. Selling and administrative expenses
increased to 24.9 percent of sales in the first six months of 2000 from 24.3
percent in the first six months of 1999 because of additional costs for new
product launches and because certain divisions that have experienced reduced
sales have not reduced selling and administrative expenses proportionately.

                                       9


Interest expense, net was $1,540,000 in the first six months of 2000, compared
to $2,271,000 in the first six months of 1999, a decrease of 32 percent. The net
decrease is the result of both a reduction in debt, reducing interest expense,
and an increase in cash, increasing interest income.

The effective tax rate was 42.0 percent for the first six months of 2000
compared to 43.0 percent for the first six months of 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents increased to $36.9 million at July 1, 2000, compared
to $22.7 million at December 31, 1999. Total debt increased to $62.4 million at
July 1, 2000, compared to $55.6 million at December 31, 1999. The increase in
borrowings was mainly due to the addition of a $7.6 million industrial revenue
bond to finance a plant expansion and paint line at one of our divisions.
Working capital at July 1, 2000 was $204.9 million, compared to $175.7 million
at December 31, 1999. This increase was primarily due to the increase in cash as
explained in the next paragraph, increases in accounts receivable and inventory,
and a decrease in accrued expenses. Due to seasonal tendencies of the Company's
business, accounts receivable and inventory increased during the first six
months of 2000, although these increases were much less than the comparable
period of the last two years. Accrued expenses decreased primarily because of
payments made in the first quarter on liabilities that get accrued over a full
year and paid at one time early the following year.

Cash provided by operating activities during the first six months of 2000 was
$24.9 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities of $2.8 million
in the first six months last year. The primary reason for this increase was that
accounts receivable only increased $3.8 million in 2000, while it increased
$24.1 million last year. Accounts receivable increased to an unusually high
amount in 1999 because of collection problems at certain divisions that have
been improved in 2000. Cash used in investing activities during the first six
months of 2000 was $14.0 million, all for normal plant and equipment purchases.
Cash used in investing activities in 1999 was $41.5 million, including $31.0
million to purchase Ledalite. Cash provided by financing activities during the
first six months of 2000 was $4.3 million, primarily from the increased debt
referenced above, less purchases of treasury stock. Cash provided by financing
activities in 1999 was $35.4 million, primarily because of increased debt to
finance the Ledalite acquisition and to fund the accounts receivable increase.
Management believes that currently available cash and borrowing facilities,
combined with internally generated funds, should be sufficient to fund capital
expenditures as well as any increase in working capital required to accommodate
business needs in the foreseeable future.

The Company has a $150 million revolving credit facility that matures in August
2003. There were no borrowings under this facility at July 1, 2000. The
Company's long-term debt at July 1, 2000 consisted of $19.3 million in Canadian
dollar notes from the Ledalite acquisition, $22.3 million payable to Thomas
Industries Inc., $18.1 million in industrial revenue bonds, and $1.1 million in
capital leases and other.
